Justin Theroux on Paparazzi: 'It's Not the End of the World'

On how he used to “garbage-pick”: “I used to garbage-pick. It sounds much more disgusting that it is. You learn a lot about society by seeing what’s thrown away. During the period I was doing that, a lot of great stuff was being tossed. What do they call that now, ‘Ironweed chic’? Edison bulbs and all that shit. This was stuff I was finding for free 15, 20 years ago.”

On the very public nature of his relationship withJennifer Aniston: “It doesn’t feel like a hardship, it doesn’t feel difficult.”

On the omnipresent paparazzi: “It can be an annoyance, but it’s not the end of the world. You have to center on what its core thing is, which is that you met someone you fell in love with. It’s hard to explain. I just find myself wondering, What’s the big f–king deal?”

On the constant tabloid headlines: “It’s always based on fiction. You just kind of ignore it, but then you also become reluctant to say anything about the relationship. I could say everything’s good, and then it’s reflected back as JUSTIN THEROUX: EVERYTHING’S GOOD? That just creates this echo chamber, and it ricochets around the internet, it just gets wacky.”
